We discuss the history of citizenship schools, their profound importance in the Civil Rights Movement, and the critical lessons they offer for our present moment.
Elaine's civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Share the power of voting with your neighbors.
-
Start your own community citizenship schools!
Elaine Weiss is a journalist, speaker, and author of Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools that Built the Civil Rights Movement. She's also the author of The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote, which was a source for the Broadway musical SUFFS.
